[vlc] serve content via http to vlc

[Manuel]

Hi,

I tried to serve content via http to vlc but failed.

bellow the first headers vlc send. The Line with content-range is the
header I set.
I send vlc 64KiByte blocks of data.

What I dont understand is:
why vlc queries for the last few bytes of the file (1:)

And then (2:) ask for 8096-
I send the Range 8096-73631
but then (3:) vlc then asks for 107524-

What I am doing wrong?

I also tried with Chrome (Version 40.0.2199.0 canary (64-bit)) this
actually works. Requests are attached.

Thanks for your help.
